The 1990s are a bad time to be poor and not-famous.
Tehát végül is azt hiszem, a könyv eredeti címe, a How to be a Woman kicsit félrevezető. A botladozó, rémisztő és csodálatos évek alatt végig azt hittem, hogy amit akarok, az, hogy nővé váljak. Germai...
Strip clubs let everyone down. Men and women approach their very worst here.
Precisamos retomar a palavra feminismo. Precisamos muito, mas muito mesmo pegar de volta a palavra feminismo. Quando aparecem estatísticas dizendo que apenas 29% das mulheres norte-americanas se descr...
Poor people can write. It’s one of the few things poverty, and lack of connections, cannot stop you doing.
Personalmente, encuentro absurda la idea de que las mujeres «adoran» ir de compras; casi todas las que conozco tienen ganas de llorar después de pasarse cuarenta y cinco minutos recorriendo las tienda...
No puedo entender los argumentos antiabortistas que se centran en que la vida es sagrada. Como especie, hemos demostrado hasta la saciedad que no creemos que la vida sea sagrada. La indiferencia con q...
My favourite place in the world - the south beach at Aberystwyth -has a sewage outfall pipe on it
Mindig észben kell tartanunk az emberiség legfontosabb vezérfonalát: LÉGY UDVARIAS. Az UDVARIASSÁG valószínűleg a legtöbb, amivel minden egyes nap hozzájárulhatunk a földi élethez.
Men and women alike have convinced themselves of a dragging belief: that somehow women are incomplete without having children.
In that instance, my body had decided that this baby was not to be and had ended it. This time, it is my mind that has decided that this baby was not to be. I don't believe one's decision is more vali...
If I don't keep this job, then my only future career-options are working in Argos, or being a prostitute,' I say, wildly.'Maybe you could work in Argos a prostitute,' my mother says, merrily. She app...
I'm not going to be worshipped by some powerful, loaded, sword-wielding man who will change my life if I marry him. Because that is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and he doesn't exist.
I'm going to say 'Amen' now. This is a deal now. We are square on this. You will sort this out. Violet will not rat on us. Amen.
I saw what an achievement it was—the will of a small, countable number of men and women who wrote, and thought, and marched, and sang. If you’d killed the right two hundred people, this future would n...
I now believe that there are only four things a grown, modern woman should have: a pair of yellow shoes (they unexpectedly go with everything), a friend who will come and post bail at 4 a.m., a fail-s...
I have no idea what cunnilingus is – certainly no one I've met in Wolverhampton can afford it.
I find rap, dance, and hip-hop vaguely terrifying. I don’t have the right clothes to be into them, and it all seems a bit intense. I file these genres along with heavy metal and speed metal under peop...
But women living in fear of aging, and pulling painful and expensive tricks to hide it from the world, does not say something amazing about us as humans.
And when you are being kissed like this, you are Christmas Day; you are the moon shot; you are field larks. My shoes were suddenly worth a million pounds, and my breath was the ethyl in champagne. Whe...
